FTX C.E.O. Arrested ONE DAY Before Congressional Testimony…What Are They Trying To Hide?

Do they think we’re stupid?

A fallen C.E.O. loses billions, in what many are calling the worst financial scandal since Madoff, a scandal that reportedly involves Democrats and their allies in Ukraine, and is arrested a mere day before his slated Congressional testimony?

Shouldn’t they arrest him after he talks for several hours to representatives and committee members?

Sam Bankman-Fried had previously agreed to testify before Congress, although certain sources are claiming that he changed his mind last minute and that his legal team was refusing to accept a subpoena.

At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if the investigations from federal authorities take 2 years to complete and yield ‘no sign of wrongdoing’ or a slap on the wrist…

Something is off and I am not the only one who thinks so:

Sam Bankman-Fried was scheduled to testify to the House Financial Services Committee in Washington tomorrow. Instead, the US District for the Southern District of New York arrested him in the Bahamas.

As a former prosecutor this doesn’t make much sense. You want him to talk…

From a tactical perspective, I don't understand why the U.S. government didn't wait until after @SBF_FTX testified under oath before Congress tomorrow before charging him with a crime. Prosectors actually did #SBF a favor by saving him from himself.

Tomorrow, Sam Bankman-Fried was scheduled to testify in front of the House Financial Services Committee. @HouseGOP was ready to grill him six ways to Sunday.

Now breaking tonight, SBF was just arrested!🧐

Why not allow him to 1st testify tomorrow and answer our many questions?

ProCoin News writes:

Many others alluded to orchestration or collusion between the political establishment, FTX, and Sam Bankman-Fried.

It is widely known that SBF was set to testify before Congress today; however, his arrest just 1 day before his slated testimony has put an end to those plans…

Now many politicians, financial influencers, and pundits are asking, why? Could this arrest have been planned and staged with the express effort of preventing his congressional testimony?

Many people found the timing suspect.

CNBC had this to report:

Before his arrest was announced, Bankman-Fried had been expected to testify virtually before the House Financial Services Committee on Tuesday, but his attorneys told CNBC that he will not appear.

Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., who oversees that committee, said she was “surprised” at his arrest and disappointed that Congress would not be able to hear from him on Tuesday.
